The Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) published its Vellore Housing Unit — 68 sites notice (TNHB Vellore Housing Unit notification 258; official source page published 2 Sep 2026), offering sites across 15 schemes in Vellore, Ranipet, Tirupattur, Kanchipuram and Tiruvannamalai districts. The notice describes a two-stage sale: applicants first submit an e-tender online, and those with a valid completed tender can then take part in a live e-auction. BiddingPulse summarizes the linked official auction materials — their listed sites, schemes, schedule, sizes, published upset values — without reproducing a unit-level schedule.
The official TNHB sources required bidders to submit a completed e-tender and place the deposit through the Tamil Nadu e-Procurement portal (TN Tenders) by 8 Oct 2026, 11:00 AM IST. The official sources we reviewed do not establish the live e-auction date or time. On TN Tenders, 8 Oct 2026, 11:30 AM IST for 53 records; 10 Oct for 15 records is the tender bid-opening time, not the start of live bidding. Check the selected Tender ID and its latest corrigendum on TN Tenders, alongside TNHB Vellore Housing Unit notification 258, for schedule updates. BiddingPulse does not accept tender submissions, payments or bids.
The notice set two main amounts for every site. The first is the upset value — the authority’s published minimum amount for the site. On bidding, the linked official auction materials say: after technical and financial evaluation, the highest qualifying e-tender value becomes the upset price, or starting value, for the live e-auction; the terms publish no later bid-increment or fixed closing rule. Across these 68 sites, upset values run from ₹7,04,000 to ₹36,05,68,000. Published plot/site area spans 703 to 1,44,227 square feet. The upset value is the minimum amount the linked official auction materials set; it is not evidence of a final or accepted price. The second number is the application money (EMD). It is 15% of the selected site’s upset price (₹1,05,600–₹5,40,85,200 per source row). Pay only the EMD for each site you select, not the ₹59,32,28,250 total across all 68 rows. TNHB says unsuccessful bidders’ EMD is refunded under the e-tender norms but gives no timeline. A winner tops the payment up to 25% by 4:00 PM IST on the next working day. If TNHB does not confirm the sale, the EMD and further amount paid toward 25% are refunded without interest; withdrawal after participating or payment default can instead trigger non-refund or forfeiture. These two are not the whole cost: the notice also lists GST, if applicable, paid separately and all costs and taxes due to the corporation, local authority or another authority from the date TNHB confirms the sale.
This page is kept as a dated, source-cited record of the auction's facts. This record remains current only within 30 days of the 20 Oct 2026 source check while the later live e-auction schedule is unverified in our records. A later re-verification of the official source can move that window forward. If no schedule appears before the window expires, the page changes to sale schedule verification overdue. It becomes the permanent record only after that auction’s sourced outcome or another sourced terminal update. Every figure here should be verified against the Tamil Nadu Housing Board (TNHB) linked official auction materials before acting.
